perf pmu: Fix pmu events parsing rule

Currently all the event parsing fails end up in the event_pmu rule, and
display misleading help like:

  $ perf stat -e inst kill
  event syntax error: 'inst'
                       \___ Cannot find PMU `inst'. Missing kernel support?
  ...

The reason is that the event_pmu is too strong and match also single
string. Changing it to force the '/' separators to be part of the rule,
and getting the proper error now:

  $ perf stat -e inst kill
  event syntax error: 'inst'
                       \___ parser error
  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
  ...
